Four broadcast paths, one constant: you’ll need to match tonight’s game to the right platform. Here’s how each option breaks down.

How can I watch the Pacers game live tonight?

Check the game time and channel

• Start with the NBA.com Pacers schedule (official league source) for tonight’s opponent, tipoff time, and broadcast network.
• ESPN’s Pacers schedule (sports media source) mirrors that info and includes TV listings.
• National games air on ESPN, TNT, or ABC; local games typically on Bally Sports Indiana (Sports Media Watch).

Use a streaming service with a free trial

• YouTube TV (live TV streaming) carries ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN and cable networks – includes a free trial.
• Fubo (regional sports network focus) also offers a free trial and carries local RSNs.
• For a specific game like Thunder vs. Pacers, you can stream via ESPN Unlimited and live-TV providers such as DirecTV, Fubo, and Hulu + Live TV (Yahoo Sports).

Listen on radio if you are in Indiana

• All preseason and regular season games are broadcast on 93.5/107.5 The Fan (NBA team page) – no streaming subscription needed.

The pattern: your path depends on the broadcast tier. National games are easiest to stream; local games may require a cable login or a trial with RSN access.

How to watch Pacers online for free?

Use free trials of YouTube TV or Fubo TV

• YouTube TV (official YouTube TV page) provides a multi-day free trial for new subscribers.
• Fubo (Fubo sports tier) similarly offers a free trial with regional sports networks.

Watch on NBA.com if you have a cable login

• NBA.com/pacers/where-to-watch (official Pacers site) lets you log in with cable credentials to stream games online.

Check for free streams on the Pacers official site

• The Pacers schedule page on NBA.com also includes links to watch – but those require a cable subscription or a TV provider login.
• Some national broadcasts (ABC, ESPN) may be available over-the-air with an antenna, no subscription required (Livesportsontv).

The implication: “free” streaming is usually a trial – great for one game, but you’ll need a plan for the season.

Can I watch the Pacers game on YouTube?

YouTube TV carries Pacers games

• YouTube TV (live TV bundle) includes the networks that broadcast Pacers games – but it’s a paid service after the trial.

Official Pacers YouTube channel may have highlights only

• The NBA Pacers team page links to video highlights, not live game streams.

Live game streams are not typically on YouTube for free

• Free YouTube is not a reliable source for live NBA games except for occasional preseason streams or team promotions (NBA schedule).

The catch: YouTube itself (the free platform) does not carry live regular-season NBA games. YouTube TV, a separate subscription, does – but only during its trial period is it free.

Is NBA TV free on Prime?

NBA TV is a separate subscription

• NBA TV is a premium channel not included with Amazon Prime. You need a separate cable or streaming package (Heavy).

Amazon Prime does not include NBA TV for free

• Prime Video offers some NBA games (e.g., Thursday night games) but not the full Pacers schedule. FanDuel Sports Network is available as an add-on via Prime Video (Heavy).

Alternative: NBA League Pass

• NBA League Pass (official NBA product) lets you stream all out-of-market games, but it’s a paid subscription.

The pattern: free NBA TV on Prime is a myth – you’ll need an add-on or a separate plan.

What channel is the Pacers Game on tonight?

Check local listings for Bally Sports Indiana

• Most Pacers regular-season games air on Bally Sports Indiana (regional sports network) – available with a cable subscription or streaming service that carries RSNs (Sports Media Watch).

National broadcasts on ESPN, TNT, or ABC

• Nationally televised games appear on ESPN, TNT, or ABC. These are easier to stream via YouTube TV, Fubo, or an antenna for ABC (ESPN schedule).

Use NBA.com/schedule for exact channel

• The NBA.com Pacers schedule provides the specific TV channel for each game. This is the most reliable source (NBA official schedule).

The trade-off: local games on Bally Sports Indiana require a cable login or a streaming service that carries that RSN. National games are more accessible but less frequent.

Summary

For Indiana Pacers fans, the option to watch without cable has never been more accessible – but only if you know where to look. The key: always start at NBA.com/pacers/schedule, then pick your streaming free trial (YouTube TV or Fubo) for national games, or dial in 93.5/107.5 The Fan for radio coverage of every game. For Indiana residents without cable, the choice is clear: free trial for a single game, radio for the season, and video streaming via a subscription if you want the full experience.
